Lauderdale Air Show Will Be Soaring Again In 2016

The Lauderdale Air Show will return from its two-year hiatus in the spring of 2016.

The beachfront air show was canceled in 2014 due to runway construction at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airpot and again in 2015 because of road construction along A1A, where spectators gather for the event.

On Tuesday, the City of Fort Lauderdale Commission approved a three-year agreement with Lauderdale Air Show, with the 2016 event set to take place May 7 and 8.
